Rev. Meeks Puts Teacher’s Union on Notice

Chicago Tribune 6 November 2009 3 Comments

“Chicago Public Schools have a gang problem. The gang, however, is not the BDs (Black Disciples), the gang is not the GDs (Gangster Disciples), the gang is not the Vice Lords and the gang is not the Four Corner Hustlers. The gang is the Chicago Teachers Union.”

– State Sen. James T. Meeks, D-Chicago, chair of the Illinois Senate’s Education Committee, Oct. 17, 2009.

According to the Tribune, you intend to return to the CTU “…every dollar…” they have given to you over the years. Instead of returning the money,I suggest you forward it to the charter school of your choice.

Why not just donate the money to Salem Christian Academy? Seems more than appropriate, as it is associated with Rev. Meek ministry

Well the CTU is always complaining that they are overworked and under payed. They get benefits, $40K starting, so many days off, and only work 30 hours a week. Meeks isn’t wrong!
